Wii MOd chips

[Demon Cleaner]

So will it run all backups of Wii and Gamecube games? From any region?

Do you actually read the topics?

This one currently only plays backups, no import games.

I will of course post any news here.

Read a little about this earlier while looking at prices of DS flash carts (slot 1 for ease). Will be keeping an interested eye on these, but I probably won't buy anything until the 2nd/3rd set of modchips come out - so i can see what improvements are made and also what attitude Nintendo take towards modded Wiis and online / link up play.

It's the same for myself, the Wii is not on my "items to buy" list, even not for this year. I like the console in some way, but also think that it's a console for kids, or the mid 30 kids. I'm not pro/con Wii, I never played with it, or its controller, but the way of paying games with that controller, makes me worries. I will get one, if there are good modchips available, and the price drops down to 100€.

I think we've arrived at the same decision but from different angles. I love my wii and would be loathe to do anything that might damage it or impair the online/future functionality.

It's not like I couldn't afford to just get another or anything, but I really don't want to mess it up. Probably after I've had it a long time I will be happier to poen it up and mess with the innards, but for now I'm sitting back and seeing how others get on with it.

Course I do! Just stated it plays backups but not imports. That didn't state if it will run NTSC backups on a PAL Wii for example.

IMO that's exactly the same. PAL=EU, NTSC(J)=US+J, thus imports. So if a PAL console doesn't run import games, means it doesn't run NTSC games.

Nah, it's not the same. On the Dreamcast for example I could run backup copies of any game from any region, but could only run originals from the PAL region. And the DC-X boot disc I also had allowed the running of Import originals from NTSC regions but would not allow any backups to run.

[Demon Cleaner]

Hm. I didn't test it on DC, as I only have backups for it, and they all boot automatically.

If you tried to run Jap or US originals of DC games on a PAL DC it won't work. I imported DC games from the US that never got a PAL release and had to also get the DC-X boot disc so I could run them.
